I have converted a CentOS 7.2 Hyper-V VHDX instance to a VirtualBox 5.1.10 VDI instance using the VBoxManage clone command and am using this VirtualBox instance on a Mac. Everything works well except the guest instance will not run in full screen mode. I have tried to install Guest Applications but it fails each time.
Is there anything that I am missing in this process?

Cent-OS is installed on hyper-v virtual machine. I want to re-install same OS or different OS on same machine without deleting the data. Is it possible through Powershell?
I have a problem with Docker running the nanoserver.
My environment: I Installed docker on a Win10 (developer build from microsoft) Virtual Machine (cause host is still Win7 with no default Docker support because of Hyper-V). I installed docker on the virgin image so no 3rd-party programs can cause the error. I also have already checked if Hyper-V is enabled.
But I think this Screenshot says everything:
Also Googled the problem, but everything i found wasn't in a Docker context.
FYI: I want to use the Docker container for running a network rendering slave which should only see one cpu core (for licensing reasons), maybe someone has another option for this.
so you are trying to run Docker on Windows 10 which is a VM on Windows 7? I suppose this is not possible. You are trying to run a virtualization platform inside a virtualized Host (your Windows 10 machine). This nested virtualization is not supported by Windows 7 afaik.
Nested virtualization is supported on Windows 10 Build 10565 and later (this must be your virtualization host).
Have you tried to create and run a Hyper-V VM inside that Windows 10 VM? this will also fail.
OK, I am having a problem setting up a virtual machine in Hyper-V, I’m not getting the use of the mouse. When I connect to the machine from Hyper-V and click somewhere I get:
Virtual Machine Connection
Mouse not captured in Remote Desktop session.
The mouse is available in a Remote Desktop session when integration services are installed in the guest operating system.
If I try the same from Virtual Machine Manager I get:
Virtual Machine Connection
The mouse is unavailable in a Remote Desktop session when virtual guest services are not installed in the guest operating system.
The operating system is Vista Ultimate x86 Service Pack 2.
I have installed the integration services disk (Action | Insert Integration Services Setup Disk). This runs through the installation, says it was successful and prompts for a restart. After the restart I log in, click on something and get the same error above.
I have been Googling and as a result I have tried:
Detecting the HAL
Adding a 2nd CPU
Installed all available Windows updates
Trying installing the integration services again by running as administrator
Building a new Vista machine
Importing a Vista .vhd file from VirtualBox
Nothing. No joy.
Does anyone know how I can allow my Vista machine to accept the mouse?
Thank you.
This might sound trivial, but have you tried enabling "Guest Services" on the Vista VM? Here is how you can do it:
* From Hyper-V manager, right click on the Vista VM and go to Settings
* Management > Integration Services > Check "Guest Services".
If that does not help, let me know the version of your Windows host and also the result of following Powershell cmdlet (You need to execute this when VM is running):
Get-VM -Name <Your VM Name> | Select IntegrationServicesVersion, IntegrationServicesState
Typically, attaching the ISO file from Host's "C:\Windows\System32\vmguest.iso" and running the Setup from inside the VM should enable Mouse on Vista VMs. This is automatically done when you do "Insert Integration Services Setup Disk" action.
Hopefully it is not too late. First of all, you need to turn off the VM, and change the OS type to Vista in VM summary. Then you are allowed to install Virtual Guest Services. After installation, issue disappeared.
Basically I think the issue is from the fact that Hyper-V was not to identify the OS correctly.
I added all the hyper-v system devices in manually. Check with another working VM to see what system devices are not shown. Re-started and it worked fine.
I was installing vagrant with virtualbox provision. When I am running it on Amazon EC2, then it doesn't work saying:
* Running VirtualBox in a Xen environment is not supported
EC2 uses xen virtualization. On the other hand, its working fine on Windows Azure Virtual Machines which uses a customized version of Hyper-V.
So,cant we use virtualbox in Xen but in Hyper-V?
Are you sure that HyperV allow you to start the VM, I don't think this is possible using current hardware VT technology without slow painful emulation instead of virtualization.
Just installed CentOS 5.8 on a VM using VMware Fusion 3.1.4 on my MB Mac OS X 10.7.4 and have the following problem. CentOS finished to install and re-start. The result, a nice black screen. I rebooted CentOS (on the VM) no success. I rebooted VMware Fusion, no success. I rebooted the whole machine (physical machine) no success.
Is there anywhere VMware Fusion log booting errors I can investigate why I have this annoying black screen?
VMware Fusion logs errors in the virtual machine's bundle.
So, for example, if your virtual machine appears on your hard disk on the desktop as:
myvm
you will find it in Terminal at:
cd ~/Desktop
ls -1 myvm*
... myvm.vmwarevm
then:
cd myvm.vmwarevm
you will see:
vmware.log
(and maybe vmware-0.log, etc, which will be older logs; vmware-0 being second most recent, vmware-1 being third most recent.)
A very late answer, but hope that is some help.
